I rode my bike across het IJ river in northern Amsterdam today, it was incredibly pretty. Since there aren't any bridges nearby, I had to take a free ferry along with several other pedestrians, bikes, Vespas, and miniature cars. It only took a few minutes to float across the river, and once there, I rode around for a while around the quiet suburbs (very different from central Amsterdam, but very pretty - unlike most suburbs in the States). Then I collapsed by a pond and read my new book and ate my picnic of bread, cheese and a soda.
Brian has done this ride a couple of times, and I remember my Dad took his bike there when we were in Amsterdam three years ago - but this was my first time.
Here are a couple of photos from the day:

Really cool boat - thought my Dad would like this one
Picnic!
